Scientific evidence has shown that air within our homes and buildings cam be more polluted than outdoor air in even the most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. For many people, the risks to health may be greater from exposure to indoor air than outdoor air.
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, and viruses such as flu, measles, chicken pox, and tuberculosis, may be spread indoors. Crowded conditions with poor air circulation can promote this spread. Some bacteria and viruses thrive in buildings and circulate through indoor ventilation systems. For example the bacterium causing Legionnaire's disease, a serious and sometimes lethal infection has circulated in some large buildings.
Breathe easy knowing that Sanuvox will destroy health threatening microorganisms, common indoor pollutants, and neutralize odors, in your home, office or building.
"People get so excited about their drinking water and we only drink two litres of water a day. Yet we breathe 20,000 litres of air a day and these poisons are directly absorbed by the lungs. It is a big problem." -Toxicologist Roger C. Inman
A Sanuvox Ultraviolet Air Purifier will lower the bacteria count in a home more than would be obtained by ventilating the home at the rate of 100 air changes an hour. A normally ventilated home would have 1 to 3 air changes per hour.
Used on a regular basis, Sanuvox will destroy more than 99% of the microorganisms that are commonly the source of allergy and asthma symptoms, such as mold, bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc., and oxidize chemical agents, pollen, second hand smoke, cooking odors, etc.
The Patented Sanuvox Process
Unlike air cleaners, Sanuvox does not use conventional filters to decrease the effects of noxious odors. By utilizing a patented "J" shaped Dual Zone Mercury Vapour Ultraviolet Lamp, a Turbulator to slow and spin the air and an Aluminum Chamber to intensify the UV light, the patented Sanuvox process is able to recreate the effects of sunlight to destroy biological contaminants and neutralize odors.
Sanuvox's "J" lamp produces UV-C and UV-V light. UV-C is short-wave germicidal radiation. This wavelength's primary uses are for the destruction of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms which pass through the Aluminum Chamber. UV-V is used for oxidization. This is the portion of the lamp which will neutralize odors and destroy chemicals in the air. Both UV wavelengths work together to destroy the contaminants within your home, office or building.
Don't be fooled by companies who call their units UV Air Purifiers when they are simply "Lights in a Duct". These "Lights in a Duct" purify the walls of the duct or air conditioning coil, but are virtually useless in purifying the air. The air passes by these probes much too quickly to be treated, and the lamps are too weak to kill the contaminants in the air.
Sanuvox has a Purifier to solve virtually any Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problem, and is the only manufacturer to offer a complete line of Air Purifiers. Sanuvox Purifiers are used in thousands of homes, doctor and dentists offices, hospitals, veterinary clinics, office buildings, health clubs, day care centres, laboratories, classrooms, old age homes, hotels, casinos, smoking rooms, bars and restaurants, mausoleums and funeral parlours.
